Fantastic. I love the library/bookshelves in the dining room. A great way to combine two rooms.
Great home. Does anyone know the name of the metal stools displayed in their kitchen? I've been searching for similar stools for quite some time now. Thanks.
What a wonderful home and thoughtful explanation of the mindfulness that inspired and guided its' design and execution. As far as the the neighbors that "want big houses here"..... It just shows that we (humans and the earth) really are doomed. For a glimpse at our future, rent the movie Idiocracy.
What a beautiful house and an inspiring story. Thanks for being modern pioneers.

This is a beautiful and well thought out house. Congratulations. Where did you find a "tiny, high efficiency boiler", and what window system did you use?
Wow. This house is great, and even more so as a symbol of the modern movement in Salt Lake. It's no lie about it being on of the smaller homes in Emigration canyon (speaking from personal experience) since I know of at least one that breaks the 20k sf mark, and the average in her area of the canyon I can safely estimate at around 5k-6k sf. Congrats on your accomplishment Professor Mooney and Mr. Sparano.
Love it - what a fabulous home.
Does anyone know what the make of the pendant lamps are? I think these are really terrific, but can't seem to find the source.
The kitchen stools are a Jeff Covey model 6 design.
Beautiful home. I love it. It's a bit of a shame that the view seems to be to the Northwest, though. Can't be helped, obviously. Is it up to code not to have some sort of railing to prevent people from falling? As for "wannabe mountain lodges", I would point out that many of those are quite energy-efficient, usually a timber frame built with SIPs, radiant, etc.
I wonder if anyone has explored the health implications of living and sleeping in a steel clad building. I'm not a scientist, but I do know that steel structures create an anomaly in the earths magnetic field, and can also attract and concentrate EMF's and RF's.
Terrifc house -- looks beautiful in the setting. In a house with lots of glass, the measures to deal with excess solar gain (low-e windows, shades or curtains on timers, accordion windows) seem very important. PV solar panels would look great and easily cut electric bills to zero, and more importantly contribute to cutting carbon emissions from coal and gas-fired electrical plants.
